the young independent Maison honors the art of dial making
with guilloché watch faces in Mother-of-Pearl and Black Obsidian

 The dial – the face of a watch and the reflection of its soul

The dial, the very face of a watch, not only sets the tone but also establishes its style. It captivates at first glance, a hint at the character of the timepiece. Whether it conceals or reveals the inner workings, the dial begins to weave the narrative of the watch before one even gets to the details of its composition or craftsmanship. It is the first chapter in the story that each watch uniquely tells.

  Around 1850, the Parisian tailor Chevreuil famously opined that a suit is, first and foremost, an idea that envelops a man’s body. This perspective deeply resonates with Jean-Claude and Pierre Biver. They too perceive a watch as an extension of the wearer's personality. “A watch transcends mere objecthood; it is not just a collection of moving parts. It embodies a desire, ambition, and conviction. It represents both an abstract vision and a concrete accomplishment. A watch is a personal notion that seamlessly integrates with the wearer. Our philosophy,” Pierre Biver shares, “is to bring out the soul of each watch.”

As the face of the watch, the dial inherently mirrors its essence. This makes the dial maker’s craft integral to the chain of expertise and craftsmanship involved in the art of watchmaking. Since the dawn of horology, the dial has been the focus of the utmost attention and care. As a defining element, it straddles two realms: form and function.

For the ultimate ten pieces of the initial fifty-piece series of its first watch, the Carillon Tourbillon Minute Repeater, launched just a year ago, the young independent Maison Biver wished to pay a particular tribute to the dial maker’s artistry – by proposing two original dial options.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The first dial, crafted from black obsidian, creates a striking contrast with the warm preciousness of the rose gold case. The second, in mother-of-pearl, enhances the elegant simplicity of the titanium version. In both designs, the case dimensions remain the same, with a reasonable diameter of 42 mm and a restrained thickness of 13.70 mm. The movement is the automatic JCB-001 caliber with micro-rotor winding; it beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz) and offers a 72-hour power reserve.

 “Introducing new dial variations isn’t groundbreaking in itself and this special series isn’t about heralding a major innovation. Our Carillon Tourbillon remains unchanged at its core, with all the elements that define its uniqueness, both technically and aesthetically. It represents a sporty neo-classical interpretation of the minute repeater. Given our commitment to custom-made excellence, we aimed to broaden the spectrum of choices for the final pieces by adopting a more formal look, apt for evening occasions. In this spirit, we’re presenting two dials featuring distinctive guilloché patterns and baguette diamond indexes with a novel cut, complemented by leather straps,” Pierre Biver elaborates.

To truly appreciate the distinctiveness of these two dials, which unquestionably also give the Carillon Tourbillon's an aura that is just as unique, a detailed examination is merited. In keeping with the original versions, in the spirit of coherence and continuity and striving for consistency and harmony, both watch faces are ever so subtly domed – a complex effect achieved through meticulous polishing of the raw material.

This curvature not only enhances the interplay of light upon its surface but also pays homage to historical timepieces, particularly 18th and 19th-century pocket watches, whose dials were not perfectly flat.

A notable characteristic of these new dials is their two-part construction: the periphery with the pad-stamped minute track is polished, while the central area is adorned with intricate guillochage.

A guilloché pattern dedicated to the watch, unprecedented in its concentric geometry

The guilloché pattern commands attention. Its singular form arises from the engraving being concentrically executed around the tourbillon, ensuring that no two curves are identical.

This meticulous craftsmanship results in a truly one-of-a-kind design. Based on a half-transversely cut pyramid, it echoes the bracelet links of the first forty pieces already delivered – a bold, powerful, and modernist geometry that draws inspiration particularly from some of the most beautiful aspects of 1970s and 1980s automotive design. For the past year, some observers have fondly referred to it as the “Biver Cut” to denote this unprecedented shape.

Two features of these dials warrant special mention. First, the baguette cut of the diamond indices not only adds visual dynamism to the dial but also enhances the stones' inherent fluidity. upon closer inspection, one can discern a delicately flat area within the central guillochage pattern, meticulously designed to precisely host each gold letter of the Biver inscription.

“These might seem like minor details, but they underscore the importance we place on every aspect, from design to execution. If nothing here is standard, it's because we're dedicated to a pursuit of beauty that demands stringent selection and control criteria. Our commitment to what we perceive as perfection is unwavering in every component of our watches, whether it's the beveled peaks and polished angles of our Dauphine hands or the chamfering of our movement parts. Every element of a watch is noble and warrants equal attention and ambition,” says Pierre Biver. He adds, “Craftsmanship should serve an execution aimed at beauty. The beauty of the gesture lies in creating beauty through that very gesture.”

A deep respect for natural materials

Beyond a stylistic intention, the guilloché and polishing work on mother-of-pearl and obsidian demonstrate the reverence artisan-craftspeople of Biver Watches feel for natural materials. Black obsidian, once shaped into tools and weapons in prehistoric times, now enchants as a gemstone with its enigmatic shades. Mother-of-pearl, ethereal in its very structure, continuously mesmerizes with myriad reflections.

“In working with these natural materials, we honor their integrity and their essence. We are guided by the whims of nature and therefore we embrace its unpredictability,” Pierre Biver shares.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Also notable is the thoughtful selection of materials for the watch straps. On the titanium version with the mother-of-pearl dial, Alcantara, with its velvety texture and the almost mineral quality of its gray hue, enhances the watch’s sporty elegance with a nod to exclusive automotive design. Meanwhile, the gray water buffalo leather strap selected for the rose gold variant with an obsidian dial, stands out due to its rarity, strength, and durability, offering a compelling blend of luxury and functionality.

While each collector will naturally be able to customize their piece according to their desires, with this special series of ten timepieces, Biver Watches introduces two complementary artistic directions for its Carillon Tourbillon Minute Repeater.

For reference, the prices of the two models presented are 560,000 CHF for the version with the mother-of-pearl dial and baguette diamond indexes in the titanium case, and 630,000 CHF for the version with the silvered black obsidian dial and baguette diamond indexes in the rose gold case.

More than a rare collector’s item, the Carillon Tourbillon is a most intriguing object. It embodies the finest art of watchmaking, and at the same time it conveys a message that resonates on a subtle, even spiritual level.

Sound, with its inherent ability to evoke emotions, becomes the medium through which the Biver legacy unfolds — most notably through the minute repeater. This complication, blending utility with poetry, captures the sound of eternity.

“Do different” – that is the philosophy that Jean-Claude Biver, a legend in the watchmaking industry and a renowned collector, shares with his son Pierre, a connoisseur of historical timepieces. To them, this signifies a return to the very essence of horology. It also means embracing the challenge, with all of its complexity, from the outset. Hence, the narrative they are crafting begins with a chapter dedicated to the minute repeater.

The essence of this exceptional timepiece is captured in the dial – an exquisite masterpiece crafted from Coeur de Rubis, a gemstone mineral both extremely rare and difficult to work with. This choice of material transcends mere aesthetic appeal, embodying a symbolic resonance deeply tied to Qatar's national identity. The vibrant hues of the dial, mirroring the Qatari flag, evoke a profound sense of pride and connection, setting the stage for the artistry that unfolds. The stone’s challenging nature, not least its brittleness, required several attempts before the finished product could meet the standards of excellence.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   Central to this masterpiece is a singular piece of mother-of-pearl, which serves as a delicate canvas to narrate stories deeply rooted in Qatari culture. It skillfully depicts a railway track and a moon phase, symbols that pay homage to the nation's rich celestial knowledge and the interconnectedness of time and space. Inspired by the phases of the moon from the Kitab al-Tafhim by Al-Biruni (973-1048 CE), this element underscores the region's advanced scientific heritage, predating modern watchmaking.

Further enhancing its bespoke elegance, the timepiece features a meticulously hand-engraved Saker Falcon in white gold. This falcon, embodying poise, speed, and precision, celebrates the Qatari tradition of falconry — a testament to the nation's relationship with these majestic birds. The falcon's dynamic form and the star in its claws leave the wearer enchanted, dreaming of vast skies conquered with intelligence and grace. With this masterful synthesis of craftsmanship and cultural storytelling, Biver has created more than just a timekeeping instrument: it becomes a portal to Qatar's heritage, inviting the wearer to connect with traditions that have shaped the region, encapsulating centuries of history in a single timepiece.

In the grasp of the falcon's talons, a star sparkles, igniting dreams of soaring through boundless skies with the same intelligence, agility, and majestic power. The saker falcon (Falco cherrug) stands as a revered symbol of Qatar, highly esteemed for its prowess in falconry. This magnificent raptor is renowned for its lightning speed and agility, making it a prized asset for hunters and falconers alike. In Qatari culture, the saker falcon holds a deep symbolic significance, embodying strength and elegance. Its integral role in the tradition of falconry has cemented its hallowed status, underscoring its enduring popularity and importance in Qatari heritage.

“We give birth to the soul of the watch”: Jean-Claude Biver, after five decades in the watchmaking business, and his son Pierre, both passionate collectors, embarked on a magnificent adventure: the creation of a hyper-exclusive watch brand at the pinnacle of prestige.

In March 2023, Jean-Claude Biver and Pierre Biver launched their brand, the manifestation of their boundless passion for the craft of watchmaking. Free from all pressures and economic constraints, they collaborate with the finest specialists in each field to create timepieces of unparalleled excellence.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Their inaugural creation is a complication close to their hearts: a carillon minute repeater with tourbillon and micro-rotor. The watch is not just a collector’s treasure but also an object of fascination. Transcending craftsmanship, it becomes a work of art; and like art, it is infused with a soul. This is instilled into each piece by the masterful hands of artists and craftspeople.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Every detail, even the most minute hidden from view, is meticulously hand-finished, adhering to the highest standards of watchmaking artistry. The Biver hallmark is evident in these finishing touches, a testament to their pursuit of ‘invisible beauty’ – the essence of their unique legacy in watchmaking.

The sound of eternity

The minute repeater surpasses its role as merely a rare collector’s item and a testament to engineering prowess: beyond exemplifying the art of watchmaking, it resonates on a subtler, almost spiritual level.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Sound, in its essence, is vibration – a phenomenon that inherently stirs human emotions. It allows us to engage with a watch using all our senses, inviting us to momentarily lose ourselves in time. Because sound is a vibration that can be likened to the world of emotions, it is through sound that the Biver adventure continues – in the form of an exquisite minute repeater. This superb and challenging complication, both useful and above all poetic, gives the sound of eternity.

For master watch collector and genius of watchmaking Jean-Claude Biver, and historical watch enthusiast Pierre Biver, innovation means reconnecting with the foundational principles of  watchmaking. Their approach is defined by a relentless pursuit of quality and the willingness to tackle significant challenges head-on. The emerging Biver watch brand is now crafting its own history with the launch of the minute repeater. Choosing to start with such a complex creation symbolizes the brand’s ethos: complexity is not just one aspect, but the very essence of their journey. Thus, the minute repeater stands as the first chapter in the unfolding story of the Biver watchmaking legacy.

It is essential to recognize that for the Bivers, technology is a tool to realize their foundational philosophy, rather than it dictating their approach. 'We envisioned the minute repeater as the cornerstone of our brand,' Pierre Biver elucidates. 'However, the priority was to establish a design that truly represented us. Our aim was for the movement to complement and enhance the aesthetic principles we had envisioned. We sought to create a contemporary timepiece, one that draws inspiration from tradition yet simultaneously embodies both my father's and my own perspectives.

For Bucherer, Biver Watches has created an extraordinary new masterpiece: a mechanical wonder that epitomizes the pinnacle of horological craftsmanship and artistic ingenuity.

Crafted in white gold, this minute repeater is not just a timepiece but a work of art, adorned with an array of stunning sapphires totaling 30.52 carats in various hues. The intricate arrangement of concave gems transcends traditional gem-setting, serving as a heartfelt homage to the art itself. Exclusively designed for Bucherer, this exceptional watch stands as a testament to the unparalleled skill of the artisans who poured their expertise into its creation.

At the occasion of the SIAR Trade Show in Mexico,
Pierre and Jean-Claude BIVER presents a unique piece :
«La Danse du Temps » (The Dance of Time)

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

As a tribute to tradition, culture and the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead, Pierre and Jean-Claude Biver have decided to create, in collaboration with Joel Niño - a Mexican artist - a unique timepiece for the Salon Internacional de Alta Relojería (SIAR) to be held in Mexico City from October 17 to 19, 2023.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Father and son launched their first watch last March: a minute repeater, carillon, tourbillon, with stone dials.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

For SIAR, the unique piece is the same Carillon Tourbillon - the first to be released in rose gold - but with an onyx dial, featuring sandblasted motifs representing the traditional Mexican «papel picado» and hand-engraved rose gold appliques representing one of Mexico’s most famous symbols: calaveras - inspired by those of Diego Rivera - in particular his emblematic catrina.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead is an irreplaceable tradition, and has the particularity of giving a positive approach to death and the afterlife. This is why skeletons are always painted with a smile or a joyful action, the idea of which has been taken up on the dial of this unique piece: the dancing couple symbolizing eternal love. 

 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Moreover, the Day of the Dead is considered a celebration of memory, a ritual that privileges remembering over forgetting. Similarly, as Jean-Claude Biver explains, the complication, through its vibration by means of the carillon, the beauty of mastering the invisible and fidelity to the mechanical watchmaking tradition, allows the soul of the piece to be born, to reach eternity, just as the Mexicans keep their ancestors and traditions alive through the Day of the Dead.

In this way, Pierre and Jean-Claude Biver have succeeded in uniting watchmaking tradition and Mexican tradition in a unique timepiece that pays tribute to high horology and Mexican culture through eternity.
